The FBI is investigating a machete attack Thursday night that turned a popular, Israeli-owned restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, into a bloodbath, but local police say there is no indication so far of a terror motive.
Of the four patrons wounded in the attack at the Nazareth Restaurant and Deli, one was in critical condition before being upgraded to âstable.â The attacker was identified as Mohammad Barry, a law enforcement source told Fox News.
"There's nothing to lead us to believe this is anything more than a random attack," Columbus police spokesman Sgt. Rich Weiner told the The Columbus Dispatch.
Weiner added that the FBI is also investigating the attack but declined say why.
A source told Fox News the FBI is scouring Barry's background, which includes interviewing associates and digging into his travel history. Fox is also told that investigators are looking into Barry's digital and online footprint for terrorist propaganda or evidence of communication extremists.

I have read that it was not a gun-free zone, and that he had no problem with guns, but carried a baseball bat. No idea of his politics at all.
This is from the The Onion....right?
Just to be clear, it is not a Jewish restaurant. Hani is a Palestinian Christian (an outspoken Christian), who is from Israel. It is a Mediterranean style restaurant - mostly Greek. Nazareth’s is located in our neighborhood and is a favorite of my wife and myself.
I would surmise a Palestinian Christian is more of a target than a Jew.
Yes, it was Pomegranate. Only was open for a few years. Ate there only a handful of times, but had been to Nazareth once or twice many moons ago.
My kids went to DeSales so I’m well acquainted with little Somalia. I also worked at Marshall’s in Gahanna for several years, and it was very popular with Somalians, especially once the store on Innis was closed.
I miss Corby’s show more than anything else about Columbus. Listened daily after Rush’s show. Love the Big Bass Brothers reviews!!!!
***Also, the Somali neighborhood that a few have mentioned is mostly in the Morse Rd. area near the old Northland Mall area, which is probably 4-5 miles west of Gahanna. Not sure if the culprit is from that area. Will be interesting to find out.***
I’m betting he was since he was found near Easton. I bet he was hoping to get home. I think I read he was found and confronted at Morse and Steltzer.
Ha ha, that’s cool. Yeah, when my son lived out of town , he (D.C.) he listened to Corby’s show via iHeart Radio. That’s how we found out about Nazareth’s - The Bass Brothers gave them a rare 5 bellies rating, so we tried them out. Several years ago, they received national attention when a restaurant magazine published the best restaurants in a wide range of categories. Nazareth’s was rated has having the best french fries in the national rating.
Who is the dummy who doesn’t know the motive?
Rich Weiner, Quislaming [an Islam Quisling] spokespuppet.
Laz, how do you like my new word? Guaranteed to get me prosecuted by Loretta "Let's Lynch Some White Boys!" Lynch's Department of Islamic Jesters:
Quislaming [an Islam Quisling]
Calling The Donald.....calling The Donald...Mr.Trump, please pick up the courtesy phone...some Somalians need deporting!!!!!
And the voice over also said he traveled to Somalia. But we are assured they can find "no motive", just a "random" attack.
How stupid do they think we are?
To #1: additions to your comment of “A man named Mohammed attacks customers with a machete in a Jewish restaurant (or at least owned by an Israeli who may not be Jewish) called Nazareth and it is a random attack”, ADD: and a policeman with a Jewish name (Weiner, no not that other guy), doesn’t know if it is a targeted attack or not.
Let’s say that I think Mohammed was not just looking for “Finger food”.
It’s infuriating how even Fox News tiptoes around the obvious. This “lone wolf” deflection is completely disingenuous. A person who acts alone, without a specific directive from a traditional chain of command, is still a terrorist if he’s motivated/encouraged/incited by the teachings of the leaders of his religion or political philosophy. islamic leaders have been calling for attacks on Jews and israelis, particularly knife and vehicular attacks, as we’ve seen all too often in Israel these past months. That most of the media and politicians try to lessen the significance of this type of attack demonstrates their stupidity and cowardice.
